A capillary electrophoresis (CE)-based method for the in vitro detection and monitoring of nucleotide-triphosphatase activity is described. This robust and reproducible method was used to investigate GTPase activity of a recombinant protein construct containing the catalytic domain of Human SEPT4/Bradeion beta (GST-rDGTPase). This example application demonstrates that the CE technique can replace classical radioactive methods for GTPase activity assays and may be used as a routine analytical tool. Enzyme kinetics of GST-rDGTPase was studied and yielded the following kinetic parameters: v(max) = 1.7 microM min(-1) +/- 0.1, Km = 1.0 mM +/- 0.3, and apKcat = 9 x 10(-3) s(-1). In addition the effect of co-factors such as Mg2+ and Mn2+ on the catalytic activity was investigated. The described analytical method was also shown to be useful to analyze diphosphated and triphosphated forms of other nucleotides.
